minutes 10-13-99Page 2 of 31 There were a couple of agendas missing and our Administrative Assistant has just picked those up, so I think we’re the first Commission, first group, that’s up on the web. We’re kind of a leader on this. As current as we are on our minutes, we are very much up to date in terms of having the information out on the web, so I’m happy to report that. Let the record show Mr. Santangelo is here, as well. Also, there’s an article regarding City Manager, City/County Management, in your packet, and this comes out of a current edition of the American City and County, and I just got this magazine today so it’s a more lengthy article than what I passed out, but if you’re interested in getting more information on this, see me about that and we can pass that out. No other communications. Public Hearing. This is to go through the format of adopting our new Rules of Procedure so I believe I need to state that we’re opening the Public Hearing to review, and then vote on, hopefully, our revised 1999-2000 Rules of Procedure. Is there any discussion on the Rules of Procedure? You know these are very minor changes. It’s really format changes and to comply with our meeting dates and whatever, so we’ve discussed this and reviewed it. Any comments on those? Okay, I’ll officially close the Public Hearing. Let’s move to the Unfinished Business. Adoption of the 1999-2000 Rules of Procedure. Excuse me, Mr. Tyler? TYLER: Yes, Mr. Chairman, your agenda indicates that there’s Statements from the Public on items on the agenda. Is it possible, if you have a Public Hearing, to call for statements from the public? RAY: Sure. Would you like to? TYLER: Very briefly. Thank you. Good afternoon Mr. Chairman, members of the Commission. I have some other comments which I’ll be able to make at another portion of this agenda, is that right, Mr. Chairman? RAY: Yes. I was just trying to do this one after the other, but you’re - TYLER: I have five items that I wanted to discuss with you, just very briefly today. RAY: Are these on the rules? TYLER: Yes, there’s the rules. Do you want me to only speak about the rules? RAY: Yes, can you - TYLER: And another time for Statements from the Public? RAY: Yes, you can stay right there, but just do the rules first. TYLER: These are the rules which I received a few minutes ago and I’m not sure what changes you made to whatever rules you currently have because this document does not reflect what the proposed changes are, however, I do still have some brief comments. With respect to Rule V, I would just ask that your notices be done in compliance with Open Meeting file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 10-13-99.html7/1/2011
